Tires on at least eight cars belonging to law enforcement officers in Duval and St. Johns counties were slashed by an unknown person or persons sometime Tuesday evening or early Wednesday, said St. Johns County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw.

Four St. Johns patrol cars and three Jacksonville Sheriff's Office cars were damaged while parked at the homes of officers, he said. Tires on two civilian cars, including one belonging to a law enforcement officer, were also reported slashed.

All of the cars were in neighborhoods off S.R. 210, Kelshaw said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the St. Johns Sheriff's Office at 824-8304.
